Is the Plaza de España the Most Beautiful Building in the World?
Video About the Grandiose Square Named After Spain in Barcelona.
We will see a magnificent castle, a magnificent fountain and the panorama of the city of Barcelona.
Built for the 1929 Universal Exposition, Plaça d’Espanya in Barcelona is the second largest in Spain after Madrid’s Plaza de España, spanning 34,000 square metres. Situated at the foot of Montjuïc hill, the architects Josep Puig i Cadafalch and Guillem Busquets (the works were completed by Antoni Darder) proposed creating a monumental plaza that would serve as an intersection for Barcelona’s major thoroughfares-the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes and Avinguda del Paral·lel. Plaça d’Espanya was also the gateway to the Montjuïc complex where the great exposition was held. Today, it is the site of the Fira de Barcelona, one of the largest and most important urban exhibitions spaces in the world.
